The Blood Mirror: Shadows Between Life and Death

- **The Ancient Mirror**: Ke Mingyuan, the owner of an antique shop, bought an ancient bronze mirror of unknown origin at a low price. Its surface was unnaturally clear, its back was carved with eerie runes, and it gave off an ominous aura.

- **The First Nightmare**: After taking the mirror home, Ke Mingyuan began having nightmares. He dreamed of a woman in red staring at him from inside the mirror. Then blood seeped from its surface. When he woke, he found actual bloodstains on the frame.

- **The Haunting Spreads**: Ke Mingyuan noticed that the mirror kept changing position on its own. Reflections that did not belong in the real world began appearing in it, and he even saw the woman in red standing behind him, though no one was there in reality.

- **Seeking an Expert**: Ke Mingyuan sought help from Professor Xu Wenshan, a scholar of folklore. He learned that the mirror might be a “Yin-Yang Mirror,” capable of connecting the worlds of the living and the dead, and that it was linked to the suicide of a woman in red twenty years earlier.

- **The Truth Emerges**: Xu Wenshan’s investigation revealed that Lin Suxin, the woman in red, had been deceived by an antique dealer known as Boss Chen and died by suicide. Before her death, she cursed everyone who came into contact with the mirror. Ke Mingyuan was none other than Boss Chen’s reincarnation.
